Copy activity with simultaneous renaming of a file. From blob to blob

I have a "copy data" activity in Azure Data Factory. I want to copy .csv files from blob container X to Blob container Y. I don't need to change the content of the files in any way, but I want to add a timestamp to the name, e.g. rename it. However, I get the following error "Binary copy does not support copying from folder to file". Both the source and the sink are set up as binary.

If you want to copy the files and rename them, you pipeline should like this:

  1. Create a Get Metadata active to get the file list(dataset Binary1): enter image description here
  2. Create For Each active to copy the each file:@activity('Get Metadata1').output.childItems: enter image description here
  3. Foreach inner active, create a copy active with source dataset Binary2(same with Binary2) with dataset parameter to specify the source file: enter image description here
  4. Copy active sink setting, create the sink Binary3 also with parameter to rename the files: @concat(split(item().name,'.')[0],utcnow(),'.',split(item().name,'.')[1]): enter image description here
  5. Run the pipeline and check the output: enter image description here

Note: The example I made just copy the files to the same container but with new name.
